According to XDA news report, Google’s Chrome OS operating system has received rave reviews in the past few years, and the operating system development team is making it even more powerful with new features. Google is currently improving the slit screen experience for its desktop operating system.

As spotted by Chrome Story, a new commit on Chromium Gerrit indicates that the ability to align two windows to 2/3 and 1/3 for split view is in the works. Currently, Chrome OS allows mobile snapping to two windows of the same size, but this limitation can be frustrating at times. While users will still be limited to mobile snapping to two windows, this will make things easier by allowing users to use more window scale configurations.

For example, once the feature goes live, users’ social media feeds will likely take up 1/3 of the screen space, while work apps will take up 2/3 of the area. The new mobile snapping experience is currently hidden behind a flag, which is described as follows:

“Enable option to move snap two windows to 2/3 and 1/3 for split view.”

Mobile snapping is very useful on Windows 11, certainly better than Chrome OS. The former allows multiple windows to be snapped, not just two. To be precise, you can move and snap up to four windows in a split view screen. Chrome OS has a lot to do in this regard to catch up to Windows 11’s superior multitasking capabilities.

The feature isn’t rolling out to any channel version of Chrome OS yet, but it should first appear in the Canary channel for testing.

Google Pixel Fold: A new foldable phone from Google

Google announced its first foldable phone, the Google Pixel Fold, at the I/O 2023 Developers Conference. The Pixel Fold is a book-style foldable phone with a 7.6-inch internal display and a 6.2-inch external display. It is powered by Google’s Tensor chip and runs Android 14.

In addition to the Pixel Fold, Google is also rumored to be working on a clamshell foldable phone similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. This phone is said to have a 6.7-inch internal display and a 2.1-inch external display. It is expected to be powered by Google’s Tensor chip and run Android 14.

It is unclear when either of these phones will be released. However, Google’s entry into the foldable phone market is a sign that the category is becoming increasingly popular.

Google is rumored to be working on a clamshell version of the Pixel Flip folding phone. The phone is expected to be released in 2024 and will be powered by the Tensor G3 chip. It is also expected to be more affordable than the Pixel Fold, which costs $1,799.

The clamshell design is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Motorola Razr 5G. This design allows the phone to be folded in half and opened like a book. The Pixel Flip is currently the only foldable phone from Google. It was released in 2022 and has a starting price of $999.

The Tensor G3 chip is the successor to the Tensor G2 chip that powers the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The Tensor G3 chip is expected to be more powerful and efficient than the Tensor G2 chip.

The Pixel Flip clamshell foldable phone is expected to be a more affordable option for consumers who want a foldable phone. The phone is also expected to be more compact and portable than the Pixel Fold.

Other foldable phones have larger secondary screens, so it’s unclear how big the Pixel Flip’s will be.
